Today's Terrific Tuesday Challenge over at Scrappy Moms Stamps is to use the Rock Princess Cricut Cartridge. If you don't have this cartridge, no worries, you can use a simular cut from another cartridge or an svg.

For my card I used the Rock Princess cartridge. I sized my girl at 4 inches. I used K&Company Confetti mat stack for all of my patterned paper.

My sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Hooray for Birthdays" set. I punched my sentiment with a 1 1/2 inch circle punch and matted it on a 1 3/4 inch scalloped punch.

Today we are celebrating Angelica's Birthday with a surprise Birthday Blog Hop!

Agelica is our Peachy Princess and we are all excited to wish her a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

If you came here from Janice's blog: Stamping with Janice, you are in the right place. If you just happened along and want to start from the beginning so as not to miss all the good stuff, then head on over to our Peachy Queen's Blog: A Note From Kathy.

I created a card for our Peachy Princess using some fabulous My Mind's Eye paper.

This from the Stella and Rose Gertie papers. These papers are some of my favorite.

My little notebook page was created with Market Street Stamps Vintage Notepad. I then punched the top with an EK Success border punch. The sentiment is fromScrappy Moms Stamps "Sweet Somethings" set.

This gorgeous rose is from SVG Attic Your's Truly. I added some leaves from Accent Essentials and attached them both to this Petal Pink Crinkle Ribbon from My Craft Spot.

The gems are from Recollections. Everything has been inked with Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye.

I just want to wish Angelica a Wonderful Birthday! I hope it is as Fabulous as you are!

I used the January Peachy Picks collection for everything except the solid cardstock for the puppy. This is a beautiful collectiot which includes cardstock, tags, ribbon, and wonderful embellishments that complement one another.

My puppy's eyes is from PK-294 The Cornies 1 1/8" faces and the mouth comes from PK-441 Cute and Cuddly 1 1/8" faces. The Love sentiment comes from PKSC-01 January Stamp of the Month. I heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

I created my pocket by turning down the corner of my designer paper and then added a tag that is included in the January Peachy Picks collection.

Other items used:

white gel pen for doodling

Ranger Distress Ink "Tea Dye"

ribbon and buttons from my stash

Head on over to the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog to see the wonderful inspiration from my fellow design team sisters. Then join us in the Pocket Challenge. I look forward to seeing what you create!

Today's project is made with products that can be purchased at Shop Pumpkin Spice. If you have never visited Shop Pumpkin Spice I encourage you to do so. Shop Pumpkin Spice has all the wonderful paper lines that we all love, along with embellishments and priced at least 30% off.

On the front you can see some of the elements from the January 2012 card kit. I inked everything with Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye. The crocheted flower, which comes in the kit, was inked with Ranger Distress Inks in Tea Dye, Tattered Rose, and Aged Mahogany. I then added a brad from Echo Park's Seasons Greetings. I cut the letters from Pooh Font Cricut Cartridge and added Ranger Glossy Accents for dimension and shine. In the center of the BINGO card (in the kit!) I added an i-Rock Glam Rocks Heart gems.

Aren't these papers just gorgeous! This mini is created with a 12x12 piece of kraft cardstock. This My Mind's Eye "Love Me" 6x6 paper pad is part of the kit. As you can see, I used my Fiscars circle punch and scalloped punches for notches and tag pulls. I embellished these pages with more i-Rock Glam Rocks Heart gems. I added a red heart button that is included in the kit.

I created a little pocket from a doily ( included in the kit ) and added tags. On the tags I tied some Marachino Baker's Twine.

The sentiments are from Scrappy Moms Stamps, "Crazy For You," "Dancing in Circles," and "Amusing Animals."

I may embellish the tags a bit but right now I just love the look of the designer paper.

There is so much more included in the January 2012 Card Kit "Fun Love." I'll be having fun with it for a long time. There's still time to get yours!

I have another preview from the newly released "Crazy For You!" stamp set made by Scrappy Moms Stamps.

For this card I used Create A Critter Cricut cartridge for the owl and hearts. For the branch I used Home Decor for the branch. My patterned paper is from Bo Bunny's Crazy Love 6x6 pad. I inked my pieces with Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye and Vintage Photo.

The eyes on the owl are from Peachy Keen Stamps PK-755 Large Critter Faces. I stamped them then heat embossed them with black embossing powder. White gel pen was used to color in the whites and to accent the cuts.

Ranger Glossy Accents were added to the hearts for some shine and dimension.

If you arrived here from Lauren's blog, Lauren's Creative, then you are in the right spot. If you just happened upon my blog and would like to start from the beginning then hop on over toScrappy Moms Stamps.

Scrappy Moms Stamps just released their newest set, "Crazy for You!" yesterday and it is fabulous! All your Valentine sentiments and even Anniversary sentiments can found on this set.

For my project I chose to use the "I Chews You!" sentiment.

For my card, I welded the base shape in my Gypsy using the Elegant Edges Cricut cartridge. My patterned paper comes from Martha Stwarts Holidays mat pad from last year.

My gumball machine is from and old Stampin' Up! set that I have had for years. I would have forgotten I had this image if my daughter hadn't reminded me. I stamped this image first on white cardstock, second on patterned card stock, and lastly, on acetate. I paper pieced it altogether. The little heart gumballs are from this same set. I just stamped them multiple times and cut them out and layered them until I was happy with it.

All the edges of my pieces were inked with Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye.

For the white scalloped piece I used a Fiscars punch and then ran it through my Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots Embossing Folder.

Make sure to leave a comment before you go. Scrappy Moms Stamps is giving away a "Crazy For You!" set to one lucky blogger. You will want to leave a comment on ech designers blog for the most chances. You have until Sunday, Jan. 15th to leave a comment.

This is my second post for the day. To see the Scrappy Moms Stamps January release click ~~HERE

Hi there! Welcome to Luv Scrapping Together!

This week over at the Peachy Keen Challenge Blog, we are having a party, a Linky Party, that is. Instead of the usual challenge, Peachy Keen is switching it up and we want you all to join us!

For my card I used the newly releasedPK-295 Cupid's Sting. This is the ca-utest image and I love the sentiment that comes with it!

I colored him with my Prisma colored pencils and blended them with mineral spirits. I added Gold Stickles to his halo, Xmas Red Stickle to the arrow, and Diamond Stickles to the wings and cloud.

I used B is for Boy Cricut Lite cartridge for the "stamp" mat. My patterened paper is from Marta Stewart's Hiolidays mat pad. This is from last year but I still love it!

All my pieces were inked with Ranger Distress Ink in Tea Dye. The sentiment was taped off so that I could stack it instead of stamped straight across.

For some finishing touches I added Pink Sorbet Baker's Twine from The Twinery, a button, and roses from my stash.

There's plenty more inspiration to be seen at the Peachy Keen Stamps Challenge Blog.
I hope you will join us in the party. You can link any project as long as it has a Peachy Keen Stamp on it. I can't wait to see what you create!

Today is an exciting day because Scrappy Moms Stamps is releasing a new set of stamps! This new set is called "Crazy For You!" and, let me tell you, with this set all your Valentine sentiments are covered.

I created this cute card using the sentiment "Be my Valentine?"

Isn't this cute! My image comes from the newly released January Stamps of the Month from Peachy Keen Stamps. I colored it with Prisma Colored Pencils and cut it out. I also used Peachy Keen Stamps new PK-296 Size A2 X's and O's for my background. I stamped it with Ranger embossing ink and sprinkled with clear embossing powder.

The the shape that frames this cutie is from Elegant Edges. I embossed it with my Sizzix heart embossing folder

I thought it would be fun to put my image on an Action Wobble. These will be available for purchase soon from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

I tried to take a picture with the card in action but it didn't quite take!

After stamping my sentiment I added a few heart brads and called it finished.

A few other items used:

White gel pen

Ranger distress ink in Tea Dye

Here is a look at the fabulous new "Crazy For You!" stamps from Scrappy Moms Stamps.

Scrappy Moms Stamps is having their first Terrific Tuesday Challenge of the new year beginning today. The challenge is to use a cartoon character. It can come from a Cricut cartridge, SVG, punch, or stamped image.

For my card I used the Pooh and Friends Cricut Cartridge.

My sentiment is from Scrappy Moms Stamps "Furry Friends." It was the sentiment that lead me to use Gopher form my card.
